Welcome to Bookish Bargains Website, hosted on behalf of Hendrix House Pty Ltd ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you visit or interact with our website, BookishBargains.com (the "Site").

We operate as an affiliate advertising platform. We do not sell products directly; instead, we share deals, recommendations, and affiliate links to third-party websites. When you click on an affiliate link or interact with ads, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

If you are an author who submits your book details for consideration or promotion on Bookish Bargains, you consent to us collecting and storing the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, book title(s), description, cover image, promotional links, and other relevant details.

3. Affiliate Links, Third-Party Websites & Sales Disclaimer

Bookish Bargains participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission if you click on links to retailer or service provider websites and make a purchase. This comes at no additional cost to you and helps us continue sharing great book deals and recommendations.

We do not sell or fulfill any products featured on this Site. All purchases made through affiliate links are completed on third-party retailer websites. Those third parties are solely responsible for order processing, payment collection, shipping, returns, and customer service.

Bookish Bargains is not responsible for any issues, disputes, or damages that may arise from your transactions with those third-party websites. Please review each retailer's terms, conditions, and privacy policies before making a purchase.

Prices, availability, and promotions listed on Bookish Bargains are subject to change without notice. We make every effort to ensure accuracy, but we cannot guarantee that information displayed on our Site reflects the most current price or offer available from third-party retailers. All prices are shown in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified. We encourage visitors to verify final prices and details on the retailer's website before completing a purchase.

When you click an affiliate link, the third-party retailer may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to track your visit and any resulting purchases. We do not control these third-party websites or their privacy practices.
